As global carbon reduction regulations intensify and greenwashing scrutiny mounts, TÜV Rheinland Greater China has released a timely white paper, “Achieving Net Zero: The Path of Carbon Reduction for Business”, offering businesses a comprehensive blueprint to navigate the complex landscape of climate compliance, supply chain decarbonization, and international carbon pricing.

This White Paper is designed to empower businesses with insights from global policies like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the U.S. Clean Competition Act, and Asia-Pacific carbon initiatives including China’s dual carbon market system. The report also analyzes emerging carbon border taxes in ASEAN countries, underscoring the urgency for exporters to meet transparent carbon verification standards.

Key insights include:

  • A global comparison of national carbon pricing, fees, and trading mechanisms.
  • Analysis of international initiatives such as SBTi, RE100, and 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy.
  • Case studies of global brands enforcing decarbonization in their supply chains.
  • A clear call to action for companies to establish carbon inventories, commit to science-based targets, and engage in verified disclosure to gain access to green financing and international markets.

As businesses prepare for expanding carbon tariffs and ESG mandates, TÜV Rheinland offers solutions from greenhouse gas inventories to product carbon footprint verification, ensuring companies meet both market expectations and regulatory thresholds.

Notes to editors

Dear editor, Carbon tariffs. Greenwashing penalties. Border carbon taxes. These are no longer concepts of the future but realities shaping global trade in 2025 and beyond. TÜV Rheinland’s newly released white paper, “Achieving Net Zero: The Path of Carbon Reduction for Business,” unpacks these developments and provides a rare cross-continental comparison of carbon pricing laws, supply chain pressure points, and investor disclosure requirements.

We believe this white paper will be highly relevant to your audience, especially amid:

  • The EU CBAM’s 2026 deadline pressuring Asia-based exporters.
  • New climate legislation in Taiwan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
  • The rising demand for green verification in financial reporting and capital markets.

We would be pleased to arrange an interview with one of TÜV Rheinland’s sustainability or carbon verification experts, who can comment on:

  • The role of third-party certification in fighting greenwashing.
  • How global suppliers are adapting to CBAM and SBTi pressure.
  • What Hong Kong, Taiwan, or ASEAN exporters must do to retain competitiveness.
